Meadow Lake is a beautiful town. Right on the edge of lake country. Trees and golf courses in lush green array. I even loved the fact that I was probably outnumbered as an ethnic "White Caucasian!"
While there and in the midst of meetings the following thoughts came to me.
1. In a Calvin and Hobbes comic, Calvin says to Hobbes something to the effect — "The reason I thinkk there are intelligent beings in our universe is that none of them have tried to contact us!" We do seem to have done a great job of messing things up — interestingly God has contacted us!
2. Bach is reported to have said — "The purpose of music is to bring glory to God and recreation to the human soul." We use music for a lot of other things, but maybe we would be better served to restrict its usage?
3. "To be healed is not so much about being able to "do more things" for God, but about bringing glory to God." I tend to think that it would be nice to get healed so I can throw myself back into all the stuff I think I should be doing. Maybe it would be more important to see how God can use this, than to prove to others than I am a superman able to do everything!
